Just Wanted to Say.......

That we just returned from our holiday in Thailand, and that I missed all of you girls, and my daily dose of this forum very much.

Thailand was amazing crazy beautiful, and most of our time was spent lying on the gorgeous beaches there, and eating lots of fantastic Thai food. We did also spend 2 days in Bangkok, which is such a crazy city because it is so extreme. Extreme in the sense that there is so much poverty, with many of these people making a living by selling FAKE everything, with wall to wall street markets offering everything "designer" you can imagine.
And then right across the road from all of this is the most amazing shopping mall I've ever been to.
My heart skipped a beat (or 2) when I entered The Siam Paragon, and saw that this was a mall that held every authentic designer shop you can imagine. There was Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Chloe, Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, Balenciaga, Burberry, Armani, Coach, Tod's, Bottega Veneta, Versace, Alexander McQueen and many more, all under the same roof!!!!! I tell you that arghhhhhhh I didn't want to leave.

Anyway, it's good to be back, and I'm sure I've got a lot of catching up to do here.

Welcome back Marilena!!! And I'm glad you had an awesome time... I know what you mean about people making a living selling fake stuff, that's exactly how it is in the Phils.

Yeah, even though the fakes are disgusting and so so very wrong, I can't help but feel sorry for the people there, as they do not know any better, and they live in a country that has no counterfeiting laws.

Welcome back, Marilena!! Glad you a had fab time. Did you go to an island?
Last time I was in Thailand was in Sept last year we spent 2 nights in Bangkok and I LOVED Siam Paragon too! There is another big designer mall called The Emporium but we didn't go there this time.
